The whole scene appeared far too weird for Radament to actually have any time for thinking it through, so he mainly went along with it. Moments later, however, he resigned with the remembrance that this was just the way his younger brother acted.

''As always, *fond* of manners and etiquette... right, Salazar?'' he asked while chuckling. ''But as a matter of fact, yes, dinner IS ready... I was just starting to enjoy it when you arrived. I'll have Charles bring some extra portions.

I'm sure you're weary after the long journey... but I'm afraid i have to answer one of your question with ill news. Father is not home. He left to oversee a series of trade meetings in Languedoc. Still, depending on how long you plan on staying... you might see him when he returns. As for Francois, i reckon he's still on his riding trip and will be here in an hour.

Alas, let's get to the evening room. We'll discuss more there.''
Thus, they both continued with a steady pace until reaching the dinner table.
